According to the criminal complaint, Alston has a concealed carry permit that is valid for two guns.

"At least nine or 12 shots and then everyone started running," a person who was inside the store at the time of the shooting told Channel 11.

The 25-year-old victim is in critical condition.

Alston, of Penn Hills, is charged with criminal attempted homicide and aggravated assault. She was arraigned and released on $25,000 bail.

The store was on lockdown but has since reopened.

"Our thoughts are with the victim and her family. We are working with law enforcement to provide any assistance we can as part of the ongoing investigation, as well as performing a review of our own," the spokesperson said.
